# PepsiCo financial performance and guidance revision > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/pepsico-financial-performance-and-guidance-revision > Updated: 2026-10-09T20:36:38.000Z. Sources: 21. Developments: 2. PepsiCo reported third-quarter revenue of approximately $25.3 billion, representing a 5.6 percent increase that exceeded analyst expectations. While organic revenue grew by 3.1 percent, the company faced significant challenges in its North American market, including a 2 percent fall in beverage volumes and flat snack volumes. Due to persistent margin pressures in North America, rising production costs, inflation, and shifting consumer habits linked to GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, PepsiCo adjusted its full-year core earnings per share (EPS) growth guidance. Although specific guidance ranges varied slightly between reports, the company lowered its outlook to reflect these headwinds. To mitigate these pressures, CEO Ramon Laguarta announced plans for increased investment in product innovation, such as high-protein snacks, alongside additional cost-cutting measures. While domestic markets struggled, international operations provided strong support, with markets in India, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific region contributing significantly to total net revenue and year-to-date profit. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-09: PepsiCo reports Q3 earnings beat but cuts full-year profit guidance PepsiCo exceeded Q3 revenue and earnings estimates but lowered its full-year profit outlook due to margin pressures in North America. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/pepsico-reports-q3-earnings-beat-but-cuts-full-year-profit-guidance ### 2026-10-07: PepsiCo cuts 2026 profit forecast amid North American slowdown PepsiCo beat Q3 revenue expectations but slashed its 2026 profit forecast due to sluggish demand and rising costs in North America, despite strong growth in international markets. 20 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/canary-capital-files-amendment-for-proposed-spot-pepe-etf --- Cite as: PepsiCo financial performance and guidance revision.
